BUt seeing such as are under the subjection of a Bishop, although restrained by Law, do yet bear him a deadly hatred, and as if they had receiv'd some injury from him, are wont to object false Crimes to him; that if by any means possible, they may molest or trouble him, whose fear of vexing them does very often render him more backward to enquire into and punish their offences: There∣fore, lest a Bishop should be forced, to the great Damage both of himself and Church, to leave his flock, and wander up and down, not without the lessening of his Episcopal Dignity, this Synod hath Determin'd and Decreed; That a Bi∣shop may not in any wise be cited or warn'd to appear personally, unless in a Cause for which, any one is to be depos'd or depriv'd, even from his Office, in which he may proceed either by Inquisition, or Denunciation, or Accusation, or any other way he pleases.
